Investing in times of a changing climate

Recent months and years have once again highlighted the consequences for society of unchanged climate-damaging actions. That's because the directly measurable damages from natural disasters totaled $160 billion in 2019. And in 2020, the figure already exceeded $200 billion. This contrasts with about $915 billion already invested in renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in 2019. But studies have shown that this amount will need to at least triple by 2030-40 to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. And so it is little wonder that the biggest climate sinners are taking decisive and targeted action in 2020 (e.g. the U.S. by re-entering the Paris Climate Agreement).
